“Day Drunk”: Morgan Evans treats fans to a round of shots to celebrate his surprise EP

Warner NashvilleMorgan Evans‘ surprise self-titled EP is available to stream or download now, as his debut single, “Kiss Somebody,” continues its climb in country’s top five.

The Aussie stopped by Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge on Thursday to announce the surprise release, treating fans to a round of shots to celebrate. The famed Nashville honky tonk is a significant spot for Morgan, since it’s the first place he visited on his inaugural trip to Music City a decade ago.

“More and more when I experience big life and career moments, they remind me of all the little ones that happened before and made them possible,” he tells The Tennessean. “I remember that moment as one of the defining ones, thinking, ‘This is the greatest city on Earth.’”

Morgan co-wrote each of the EP’s five songs, with his full-length Warner Nashville debut to follow in the fall.
